    Recommend me some brass for 300 Win Mag

    A new rifle is on the way, chambered in 300 Win Mag. I had figured on purchasing a few hundred pieces of Lapua brass but since learned Lapua does not offer it anymore. So what's left? This thread on longrangehunting.com from last year makes me suspicious of Nosler brass...

    CheyTac 338 Lapua Brass

    Shooters, this is a non-aligned professional bump for CheyTac's new 338 Lapua brass, made by Jamison International. I've tested this brass and saw some of the high pressure testing done on these cases. They are superior to anything out there. Including Lapua's brass. Jamison has a solid...

    Remington vs Lake City Brass Capacity

    How much less powder would one want to use in Lake City Brass if a posted load was calling for Remington Brass ?? The reason I ask is that Greg Langelius's 175gr load of 42.2 IMR 4064 in Remington Brass shoots real good in my M1A. However I only have 100 pieces of Remington Brass and plenty of...

    Brass Shavings from priming? (pics)

    Background: I usually prime with a Lee hand tool, which works quite well, however on this batch of mixed year LC .223 brass I've noticed the Federal 205M primers don't want to seat all the way into the brass with the Lee tool. I decided to switch to my Co-Ax press to see if that would seat...
